Rosie O’Donnell Regresses, Makes Scrapebook, Possibly Overly Sensitive, Slightly Dramatic
 
Wow, Rosie’s gone full tilt-o-whirl on this Hasselbeck/View fight nonsense. Girlfriend needs to gain some perspective, step out of her insular box a bit.
Latest news in the Rosie/Elisabeth flare up is that Rosie’s writer for the show and long-time friend Janette Barber was escorted from the ABC studios for “defacing” property, and Rosie trashed her dressing room. When we say defacing, what we mean is Barber drew mustaches on pictures of Elisabeth that are displayed at the View studio shortly after the on-air fight between Hasselbeck and O’Donnell occurred on Wednesday.
Let me take a moment to remind you that these are grown women. Rosie is 45 years-old and Elisabeth is 30. I love how during virtually every fight I have been forced to read about between these two, Rosie talks about how young Elisabeth is that’s why she doesn’t know any better. Well Rosie, while I may think that Elisabeth has some truly warped ideas about things (like her belief in creationism, for example, is an enormous load of steaming horsecrap) I do think she has a point about our troops.
Allow me to go off on a brief tangent here: we should not be in Iraq, ok. Most people agree with that. But that doesn’t mean our troops, who elected to do a job that I couldn’t do, nor would want my children to do, but a job that needs to be done by someone, don’t deserve our respect or support. It’s not their fault that our President is a total doofus, they are merely doing what has been asked of them. It’s not their place to question their specific orders. That doesn’t mean they like their job, or agree with it, but they understand the loyalty aspect of what they signed up for. So really, implying that they (and ostensibly Americans in general) are terrorists is well, asking for trouble. And that’s what you got Rosie, trouble.
So now that your weewiddle feelings are all hurt and you think you have been misunderstood and victimized, and rather than doing the mature thing and taking a deep breath, sucking it up and saying “Oops, I put my foot in my mouth, here’s what I meant to say,” like Elisabeth suggested you do, you are going on the offensive and acting like a big baby. The only thing worse than making a mistake (and believe me, I know about making mistakes) is not taking responsibility for it.
And as for this little video wherein you are implying that somehow you were maligned by Barbara and Elisabeth, while you poor, old Rosie is being attack for standing up for her beliefs — all I can say is WOW. Grow the f*ck up already, what are you, like 45 or something? Cripes, get over yourself.
That said, Cyndi Lauper RULES!!!

hasselbeck is brainless as all get out. and its high time everyone admits that nobody ever disparages the troops who are meerly doing what they’re supposed to. we are talking about an administration giving the orders. those are the dummies everyone is criticizing, the troops have nothing to do with the matter. neither does the scapegoat general they put in place to take the blame.

Oh for Pete’s sake! I hate to tell you, but Rosie DID imply (whether meant or not) that our troops were terrorists. If she didn’t mean it that way, stand up and say “I said something that could have been misconstrued and I want to set the record straight.” Don’t ask your co-host to do it for you. And then, after a fight with your co-host, you and a friend deface her pictures and you trash your dressing room? My 5 year old knows better. Doesn’t matter if you’re a Hassleback fan or not with this. This whole “I want attention” thing from Rosie is getting old and tired.

I side with the hot one, regardless of batshitivity every time. It’s a curse.

i dont think rosie EVER said that the troops are terrorists. what she tried to do, and very poorly, i must admit, is to show that the definition of terrorism imposed on the iraqis apply to the BushCo, a result of their decision caused the 600,000 deaths in Iraq. She supports the troops, she offers a lot of funds for the troops, and has nothing but respect for the troop.
having said that, what rosie took offense to was that elizabeth, knowing rosie, and being her friend, remained silent when people were trashing her. i guess she was disappointed because she had expected elizabeth to say, no rosie did not mean that, something rosie would have done for elizabeth.
but i suspect that rosie is mentally depressed and therefore needs a lot of external validation for who she is which is why she needs to be loud, argumentative, and project an in your face attitude to hide from her own demons. however, elizabeth benefitted out of this the most. she gets free publicity, and without rosie really, she is nobody. what is elizabeth’s claim to fame really? why should we care what elizabeth thinks?
